Fireside Chat with Dilhan Pillay

Description

Dear Members

Our fireside chat for March 2016 will be with Mr DilhanPillay Sandrasegara, Head, Enterprise Development Group at Temasek Holdings. He is also a member of the Committee on the Future Economy helmed by Minister Heng Swee Keat. Dilhan will address us on the following topic.

The Singapore Entrepreneur: Myth or reality?

While both Singapore and Hong Kong have been economically successful, they started and succeeded using very different methods. In Hong Kong, it was the tycoons and entrepreneurs that drove the economy. In Singapore it was the meticulous planning and execution of the Singapore government through entities like Temasek Holdings. For the next phase of Singapore's economic growth, Dilhan will posit if we continue to rely on the same formula or is there a need to create a new engine of growth, namely through entrepreneurship.
